More than a decade after Hurricane Sandy flooded the East Coast and killed over 200 people, a new study has revealed the storm’s lasting impact on mortality risk among older adults. The researchers linked hurricane flood exposure to a 9% increase in risk of death for people over the age of 65 who continued living in the area after landfall. Experts estimate that Hurricane Sandy caused over $60 billion in damage after it made landfall in 2012. Record-breaking storm surge and catastrophic floodin

wired.com Matthew Korfhage 2025-12-14 20:09:00

OK, so you've got a backyard griddle. Congratulations, it's a little like joining a cult—albeit one whose shrine is smashburgers, tacos, and pancakes. (Check out WIRED's guide to the best griddles here.) Each outdoor griddle lover has their own conversion story, one they can't stop telling friends and strangers about. But especially, the griddle has its own distinct set of rituals—a cycle of seasoning and cleaning and maintenance it's possible to love, but also maybe fear. On Reddit or Facebook

These Democrats Think the Party Needs AI to Win Elections

wired.com Makena Kelly 2025-12-14 20:52:56

The 2024 election cycle saw artificial intelligence deployed by political campaigns for the very first time. While candidates largely avoided major mishaps, the tech was used with little guidance or restraint. Now, the National Democratic Training Committee (NDTC) is rolling out the first official playbook making the case that Democratic campaigns can use AI responsibly ahead of the midterms. In a new online training, the committee has laid out a plan for Democratic candidates to leverage AI to

The popular narrative is that workers in the movie and TV industries are set to be trampled by artificial intelligence. But the reality may be more complicated. Behind the scenes, Disney has reportedly been struggling to deploy AI after creating a whole new business unit dedicated to the tech — especially without enraging people they still rely on in the process.

Syncable vs. non-syncable passkeys: Are roaming authenticators the best of both worlds?

matejmo/Getty Images Like or not, a replacement for passwords -- known as passkeys -- is coming your way, if it hasn't already. The three big ideas behind passkeys are that they cannot be guessed in the way passwords often can (and are), the same passkey cannot be re-used across different websites and apps (the way passwords can), and you cannot be tricked into divulging your passkeys to malicious actors, often through techniques such as phishing, smishing, quishing, and malvertising.
